Those are all good kits. Ive used Poorboys SSR1 and 2.5 and they work pretty well. I think Poorboys and XMT are the most commonly used polishes/ swirl removers. The next kit I purchase will be http://autogeek.net/pixmtliswrek.html along with XMT #3 and DP Max Wax, if that tells you anything. Some other good waxes to use instead of Max Wax is Pinnacle Series II, Souveran Paste and liquid, and Poorboys Natty's Blue. Be sure to watch the vid I posted about how to use the porter cable, and make sure you always use #1 before going to the glaze or sealants. So if you use #2 or #3 then you have to go back over it with #1, then glaze or sealer, then your Carnauba wax.

Dont forget to clay the car before you do this.

I was hoping you would reply. I was leaning towards the XMT after reading about them all so that's good.

I would mix and match, but just for ease, I think buying the XMT kit w/ the porter cable will suit me just fine for my car is a DD. I thought about buying the nice Pinnancle series paste wax, but I think the liquid form of XMT will work just fine.

Well you want to apply a Carnuba wax over the XMT Carnuba glaze.
